My Fitness Fan Favorites List

When I find something I really like, I'm one of those people that loves sharing all about it. So, that is what I'm going to do - share my fitness fan favorites list with you!

I already own or will receive many of these as Christmas gifts. For the items that aren't a personal favorite, I have friends that recommend, or they caught my attention when thinking about great fitness items.
Each item is linked, so you can check it out in more detail and maybe purchase as gifts this Christmas for a fitness fan in your life or yourself !

Old Navy LeggingsMy BFF Haley Willis Little turned me on to Old Navy leggings. I will tell you what she told me...I can workout just as good in these $20 leggings as I can in $45 leggings! Holla.Old Navy offers both full-length and crop compression leggings. I like how they fit around my waist and provide great support.

Mama Bear Workout TankOf course, SOULFITmama needs a Mama Bear workout tank. Mama, I think you need one too! There is no such thing as too many workout tanks, but this one has my heart. Even better, it's a great price. Another Christmas list item of mine!

S'well BottleI received my 25oz gray woodgrain S'well bottle as a gift and love this thing. I drink a lot of water, so my reward is making it a point to have pretty water vessels. S'well keeps drinks cold for 24 hours, hot for 12 hours, and they do not condensate. I like the smaller mouth opening on this bottle much better than some of the other stainless steel vessels. Oh yeah...when you're not using it for water, it can hold an entire bottle of wine - just sayin'.

Motivational BottleThese are too cute! A fitness mama can't have too many water vessels, so I may spring for this one next when I'm ready to change things up. These 32oz bottles feature a motivating quote and timeline to keep track of daily water intake. Super cute.

MyCustomYogaMatSurely these are made in the South, because we will monogram any and everything - even a yoga mat. If you practice yoga regularly or have a pal that does, this is great. These monogrammed mats are available on Etsy and have been featured on the Today Show, as well as Oprah's holiday gift guide.

NutribulletSo as you likely know by now, I drink Shakeology every morning for breakfast to get my vitamins, and quality protein. I use this Nutribullet model every single day. It is a compact high-speed blender/mixer that comes with 12 pieces. Super easy to use, quick clean-up, and takes up very little space. This is always the blender I recommend to my Challengers.

SpiralizerIf you are following a clean, lower-carb, Keto, or Paleo diet, you need a Spiralizer in your life. This one is the best - because I say so and pretty much everyone agrees. It comes with five blades and super easy to use. You can replace wheat/grain pasta with veggie pasta. Sweet potato hash browns are a favorite, and I use my Spiralizer to make them. Since I received mine a few years ago, I don't think we have eaten traditional spaghetti noodles with marina. Instead, we use this to make zoodles.

ShakeologyShakeology is one of my favorite things relating to my health and fitness. It is packed with 23 vitamins(!), 17g protein, and more than 70 whole foods that are dehydrated then ground…still whole – not extracts like a lot of other shakes. Everything is natural, no refined sugar, artificial sweeteners, or preservatives, and yet still tastes so good. So, yeah - it's on my favorite list for myself, and I give it as gifts!

Core De Force WorkoutThis is my current workout program and already on the favorites list. It is Beachbody's newest program. If you're planning to start a new fitness program at New Year's or know someone else that is, this workout program will make a GREAT gift.

Commit 30 PlannerRaise your hand if you love a good planner...Me too!! I just found this one and going to use it in 2017. If you are familiar with vision boards, this planner is like a traveling vision board. It is designed to help you attain goals, not just keep up with your appointments and such. Also, customizable for your specific goals, dreams, and passions. The planner has month and weekly spreads, motivational quotes, add-on sticker pack available, and comes in gold. It speaks my goal love language!

Apple WatchIt took me a long time to get on the Apple Watch wagon, but now I'm sold on it. It's my big Christmas list item this year. The new Series 2 has a GPS, is water resistant, and will track fitness activity. It features a workout app that will accurately measure your movement. Bonus - I can screen texts and calls right on my wrist. Get out!

This is a less expensive fitness and even sleep monitor that has a great design. It tracks your steps, distance, and calories burned during the day, and by night, it tracks your sleep quality and wakes you in the morning.

Hopefully, out of all these items, you have found something that will support your health and fitness lifestyle. If so, let me know. I would love to hear which items are already or hopeful future favorites!-SFM
